yellowisli. The anterior part of tlie rostrum and the 

 whole of the legs are light reddish or pinkish. The 

 internal organs show distinctly through the notogaster, 

 making patches of colour. The two preventricular 

 glands are usually very plainly seen but not always 

 so ; between them the ventriculus and the intestinal 

 canal form a large patch of colour, which is most often 

 one or more shades of yellow-brown, and more or less 

 saddle- or bag-shaped, but it varies greatly both in 

 colour and form. 



Cephalothorax usually about one-third of the entire 

 length. Eostrum pointed, but the point is far more 

 obtuse than in the adult. It is conical with rather 

 curved sides and a slight shoulder bearing a second 

 pair of rostral hairs, the first being near the tip. 

 Behind the rostrum the cephalothorax widens consid- 

 erably, but continues more or less conical, and is deeply 

 excavated for the insertion of both the first and the 

 second pairs of legs. There are usually two short, 

 curved, longitudinal ridges, with their convex sides in- 

 ward, on the pro-vertex ; and two larger, parallel, trans- 

 verse ridges, with the convex sides forward, just in 

 front of the pseudo-stigmata; these markings, however, 

 vary a little and are often irregular. The pseudo- 

 stigmata are rather close together on the dorsal sur- 

 face and a good deal raised. Pseudo-stigmatic organs 

 long, filiform, and recurved. 



Legs nearly but not quite as long in proportion as 

 those of the adult, but thicker and of more uniform 

 thickness throughout; somewhat rough. There are 

 tactile hairs on first pair of legs only, but these attain a 

 remarkable size, being longer than the whole leg itself. 

 All the tarsi are thickly set with fine hairs, and there is 

 a pair of short curved hairs on each of the other joints 

 of each leg except the coxge. 



Abdomen ovate, truncated anteriorly, and having 

 two papilla-like processes projecting from the anterior 

 margin between the pseudo-stigmata ; it also has two 

 large papillae nearly close together, forming a projection
